Writer-director Josephine Bornebusch leans into the stereotypical tropes of a snowed-in style movie where a group of disgruntled, drifted friends are forced into close proximity. Go to Full Review

Bill T @btreakle 5 days ago “The Storm” This movie The storm is a comedy with blood and gore and sax and you name it. Now personally I really didn't care for this one but I’m sure there’s those out there with different tastes tonight they will enjoy this film. To me it just didn’t make a whole lot of sense and I just couldn’t really get into the movie. But I’m not gonna give away what goes on in the movie I’m just saying that there is a lot of sexual scenes blood drugs etcetera in this movie. Do not recommend this film for anyone under 16. See more L J @Cracky 6 days ago Its ok if you watch it while you are doing something else. Doesn't really have any lasting cultural value in and of itself, lol. See more Derek N @RT09422781 Oct 24, 2026 Not funny. Not silly. Not worth watching. I don’t know what the director was intending to convey with this waste of a movie! See more Toni B @TerriToniAX Oct 17, 2026 It's about a bunch of silly people having the worst party ever. It's all about alcohol, magic mushrooms and awkwardness. Throw in a gay couple, a bear and a man wearing an armour, and you have a perfect cocktail of cliches. Fantasy without imagination. Drugs without fun. Comedy without humour. Chaotic, yet flat out boring. See more Ken F @laisve Oct 15, 2026 Unfunny tripe that goes from a promising idea into clichéd nonsense. What could be cute scandi escapism just leaves you wanting it to end and be the dog that got blown away by the wind Narrative techniques such as 60's kalaidescopic montages and talking artworks are clunky and irritating. It's a film that wants to be funny but tries way too hard and ends up falling flat on its face. See more Timothy W @RT94259812 Oct 15, 2026 So what if you locked everyone inside a fancy cabin, loaded them up with booze and psilocybin, and turned the crazy dial to full? The Storm. Keep the meter running because this is a hilarious thrill ride into depravity and delight. I love seeing the quiet and collected character blow. Another Skarsgard triumph. If you like your domestic drama with disaster and dire, the calmest hostage on the planet, and don't resist the flow of the mushrooms, strap in. You're in for a ride. See more Read all reviews
